Today; however, with the advent of computers, it’s possible to send them to customers directly by email.

In the past, much of this was done on paper. Today that’s no longer the case.

Why use snail mail when It’s much easier to use your Smartphone All you’ll need is an app on your phone that allows you to send it to customer’s right from your phone.

So how is this accomplished? When you create the job file, that data is saved and when your ready to send an invoice that information is brought over and builds the invoice that you’re sending to your customer. Then the app just uses the email account that you have set up on your phone, so it will show up as coming from you.

Most of us today receive our invoices right on our phones anyway, gone are the days when we needed to go to our home computers to receive our emails.

We recommend to people that you use an app to invoice since this creates a record for you, as well as a copy for your customer.

Please consider using the Profit Pal Mobile Invoicing App as it does all of the above.
